I went to visit an old friend near the Esplanade today.

---

"It's been a while. How have you been, old pal?"

"What a surprise! Pretty much the same, little guy. What brings you here?"

"I'm visiting you cause I missed your company."

"Hah. You never change, do you? I reckon life's giving you a hard time again."

"You bet it is."

"How's school?"

"Roll the years back 4 years from now, and you've got your answer."

"Some things just don't change, eh?"

"Yeah. But it's a wonder how many things can change within a short time too."

"Uh huh."

-silence-

"You know, people come to this place with cans of beer. You're the first who comes with.. bars of chocolate."

"What do you know anyway. Chocolate is the new cool, can."

"Can? Uh. Can, can. So who's it from? Penguin?"

"No. Penguin swam away a long time ago."

"Then?"

"Monster gave them to me."

"Tsk. First, there were penguins. Now, there are monsters. You live a life of fantasy, don't you?

"Yes, and what have we got here. A talking merlion."

"Merlions are better than penguins or monsters, can!"

"Can, can. You win."

-silence-

"Otherwise, why would I be here with you to watch the world pass us by?"

It's good to visit old friends once in a while.

And when it's time to go, I left him with the stars for company.
